Written by Rozina H Updated over a week ago

This article covers 3 methods on how you may remove the invalid emails from your SendGrid lists.

Note to first time users: In order to utilize any of the methods outlined, SendGrid requires that the BriteVerify app is authenticated. BriteVerify will prompt you with the following dialog when it needs access. Enter your login info and the verification will proceed. You only need to do this once.

METHOD #1

VERIFYING EXISTING EMAIL LISTS

STEP 1

You can verify existing lists in SendGrid right from the BriteVerify app.

Once you're logged into BriteVerify, click the blue Verify List button at the top right. A dropdown menu will offer a list of services you can import from.

Choose SendGrid.

STEP 2

A new dialog will appear with several options.

In the first menu you have access to your SendGrid lists. Choose the one you want to verify and it will display an estimated cost.

Another user input required at this stage is to determine if Risky emails should be eliminated from the final list. Risky emails include Unknown and Accept_all category emails and are preferred to be removed as they can dilute a marketing campaign’s overall performance. Simply enable the radio button.

Next choose File as your Export Destination. Once the verification is complete the cleaned list will be transferred directly to your SendGrid account.

Click Verify List to begin the verification.

STEP 3

Once the verification is complete a summary of the results will be displayed and the clean list will start transferring to SendGrid. Depending on the connection this may take a few minutes.

From here you can click View Details to see a detailed breakdown of the file verification.

There are various download options under each category for easy access.

Use the grey trash can button in the top right to delete the file. Deleting the list from BriteVerify will not delete the list from your SendGrid account.

That's it! Your new list is now available to use in SendGrid.

METHOD #2

ONBOARDING A NEW EMAIL LIST

STEP 1

Save the new list as a .CSV or .TXT formatted file.

Upload the list to BriteVerify by dragging the file into the List panel or clicking Verify List and selecting Computer.

Once you locate and select your file it will upload and prep for verification.

STEP 2

There are a few options to choose in the dialog that appears next. The estimated cost is displayed based on the total number of emails, and you will get an option for where the output file can be transferred.

Choose Export to SendGrid as your export destination.

Give the list a name. If a list by that name already exists in SendGrid, you’ll get a prompt to revise the filename.

Another user input required at this stage is to determine if Risky emails should be eliminated from the final list. Risky emails include Unknown and Accept_all category emails and are preferred to be removed as they can dilute a marketing campaign’s overall performance. Simply enable the radio button.
